Year 5's Problem Solving in PE!

Year 5's new topic in PE is OAA, which is designed to encourage children to explore the outdoors, as well as develop a range of physical and mental skills, like critical thinking and problem solvng.  Year 5 enjoyed their tasks of getting into correct places in lines (for example, alphabetically or in height order) using non-verbal comunication skills to solve the problems!  Fantastic work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley 


Autumn Term 2 - Year 5 - Can you crack the codes to become a Spy?

Autumn Term 2 in Year 5 will be action packed in more ways than one!  Our new topic is 'Can you crack the codes to become a Spy?'  A firm favourite in Year 5, this topic presents some fantastic opportunities for writing!   The children will create interesting character descriptions and mysterious settings, resulting in spine tingling spy narratives!  They will adore Spy Day, with its opportunity to dress up as their very own spy, as well as being able to design and make their own spy gadgets!  Here is the Medium Term plan for this term, together with the Home Learning Challenge Grid.


Tag Rugby Finals

Our Year 5 and 6 tag rugby A team made it into the Tameside finals last week! In the group stage, they played against Lyndhurst, St Christopher's and St James' Hattersley. Broadbent Fold showed great skill and came 2nd in their group. Everyone is very proud of them for making the final!

Tag rugby heats

Last week, some Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a tag rugby competition against other schools in Tameside.

Our A team qualified for the finals winning 2 games, drawing 1 and losing 1, scoring 8 tries overall.

Our B team came 5th in their group scoring 7 tries. 

Both teams used both attacking and defensive strategies that they have learnt with Charlie from the Jason Robinson Fou ration and showed great teamwork throughout. Well done Broadbent Fold!


Artistic skills in Year 5!

Year 5 sketched some great chimney sweeps in their sketch books, then used the medium of charcoal to create amazing pictures for their Victorian display!  Fantastic artwork Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley
